Uh
Shoutout to Marvin Gaye
Love you, then they hate you, then they love you again
Hate you, then they love you, then they hate you again, oh, uh
(Keep givin' me love) Hold me tight
(And then you take it away) Let me go
(Keep givin' me love) Heal my heart
(And then you take it away) Hurt my soul
(Keep givin' me love) Build me up (They'll never ever, ever know your soul)
(And then you take it away) Break me down (Never know your heart)
(Keep givin' me love) Make me smile
(And then you take it away) Make me frown
(Keep givin' me love) Give me love (Ain't no love in the heart of the city, that's what they told me)
(Take it away) Take it all away again (I'm just waitin' on somebody to show me)
(Keep givin' me love)
(And then you take it away) Da-da-da, da-da-da, oh, oh
(Keep givin' me love) Give me love
(And then you take it away) Take it all away again
(Keep givin' me love)
(You take it away) Da-da-da, da-da-da (Just waitin' on somebody to show me) (Yeah)
Ain't no love in the heart of city, that's what they told me
Beef with over a hundred niggas, don't none of 'em know me
Son of a mother studyin' at UDC
Sittin' in taxi cabs where Daddy roamin' the streets
Seven hallelujahs, my sutana was clean
On everything I wear it, all the America's tees
This whole system, most prolific in the DMV
Listen, when you get the keys, it's seldom, you don't get the beef
Make a nigga wan' get the piece to get to peace
You gon' need more than Wikipedia to get to me
PG to Mo County, bet they all know about me
Every hood, every 'burb, I got superb balance
From the city that made me love you forever for it
Hope you celebrate every moment, forever ignore it
You made me what I am, you made me what I'm not
They gon' love you a lil' different when you at the top, word
Give me love, baby
Not enough, not enough, just a touch, baby
What the fuck, baby? It's just us, baby
This ain't right, this is life, this a love-hate thing, wassup?
Give me love, baby
Not enough, not enough, just a touch, baby
The fuck, baby? It's just us, baby
This ain't right, this is life, this a love-hate thing, in the end, give her love
(Keep givin' me love) Hold me tight
(And then you take it away) Let me go
(Keep givin' me love) Heal my heart
(And then you take it away) Hurt my soul
(Keep givin' me love) Build me up
(And then you take it away) Break me down
(Keep givin' me love) Make me smile
(And then you take it away) Make me frown
(Keep givin' me love) Give me love
(And then you take it away) Take it all away again
(Keep givin' me love)
(And then you take it away) Da-da-da, da-da-da (Yeah)
My affinity grows as the city gets cold
As you reaching your goals, you gon' meet you some foes
Having dinner with Leonsis, I'm dreamin' to own
But for now, me and my homies see the bottom floor
I'm tryna redefine the culture, renovate the soul
Women in town, but I'm manifestatin' every goal
I see potential in John, talk to him once a week
Media targets in our city, ain't ever sweet
I lost a lot of friends, and they ain't even dead
When I was on my way up, why you ain't see the stairs?
Lord father, if I opted to follow them
My heart would tear from my dreams, let me know that you here
And it's rare when I'm anywhere with too many heads
Niggas jealous and never tell it until they stare
How could you blame us envy?
We do the same thing for a livin', know the same niggas, but they all commend me
Champagne, I'ma spill it 'til we all fill up
Maybe it stopped me from givin' a fuck about opinions
And probably not, but I'm temporarily out of fizzucks
So tell the post to leave propaganda to politicians (Pow, pow, pow)
(Keep givin' me love) Hold me tight
(And then you take it away) Let me go
(Keep givin' me love) Heal my heart
(And then you take it away) Hurt my soul
(Keep givin' me love) Build me up
(And then you take it away) Break me down
(Keep givin' me love) Make me smile
(And then you take it away) Make me frown
(Keep givin' me love) Give me love
(And then you take it away) Take it all away again
(Keep givin' me love)
(And then you take it away) Da-da-da, da-da-da, oh, oh
(Keep givin' me love) Give me love
(And then you take it away) Take it all away again
(Keep givin' me love)
(And then you take it away) Da-da-da, da-da-da (Just waitin' on somebody to show me)
Uh, uh, uh, uh
Yeah, uh
Somebody tell 'em that I'm back, uh
Highs and lows, baby
Tell 'em that I'm back
Highs and lows
Just constantly give
'Cause I just smile
I just smile
